His old pc...

The power supply is fucked ... or so we think.

everything is fine, boots ok. Then after anything from 10 seconds to a minute the power goes off.

The power supply but on back where the power cable goes into was quite wobbly, so skiving off work and going up tomorrow to buy a new one

Is there any thing else other than the power supply that could cause this?

Hax. That really suck, man.

I feel you disappointment, when I got this computer all brand new and stuff they forgot to actually send me a WORKING Harddisk. So I ended up with a dented harddisk which was making more noise than a jumbojet and it wouldn't store any data! Stupid PC companies.

Nope, nothing like that, just turns off.

So looks like the power supply then?

just the fact its wobbly and turns on for about 10 seconds then turns off, and sometimes up to a minute.

Do you have another PSU that you can test the system with - just to make sure that it is the CPU?

Gotta wait and test it yourself when you get the new PSU But that sucks, do you have to take everything out, in order to replace the PSU?

I don't know much about computers, but I'd try a Power supply first, and if that didn't work, then move onto the Motherboard..

A PSU is cheaper, and a lot easier to install then changing your motherboard..

Can you still access the BIOS on boot-up?

Then its most likely PSU... Wouldn't your computer not even start up if the motherboard was fried?

Does the PSU have a voltage setting (switch)?  Make sure its set right for your area if it does (less it's auto switching )
